Oh wow, can't resist talking Blazing Saddles. It ends with that interesting film technique in which they step outside the movie, in this case the fight at the end crashes through the supposed movie set and intermingles with Dom Lelouise directing another movie, then they all run into the streets of Hollywood and Sheriff Bart and Heady (that's HEADLY!) Lamar end up in a movie theatre watching the end of their own movie. Woody Allen does a similar technique wonderfully at the end of Annie Hall. It has the effect of making the initial movie more real by making the ending patently faction ... yaddy yaddy. That's just my take at least. Don't know if this line is in Mike's link, but when the fight crashes into the Hollywood lunch line for the two-bit actors there is a Hitler at the lunch table saying "Day lose me after da bunker scene". Another great scene is when Sheriff Bart et al come across count Basie in the middle of the desert playing the background music for that scene (Woody Allen does this less well in Bananas, opening a closet door and finding a harpist).
But the REAL question of the day is whether Kobi is the real champ by getting 69 wiener dogs (Joey had 62?). Does an "*" have to go into the official record books? And like, don't these people ever worry about Nitrites and Sodium and Fat? 60 is about 10 years worth of wiener dogs for me :-( JK ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Palij" <[email protected]> To: "Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS)" <[email protected]> Cc: "Mike Palij" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 5, 2011 9:30:29 AM Subject: RE: [tips] I Was Watching The Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest And....

For some reason this reminds me of a scene from the movie "Blazing Saddles". Shortly after Bart (Cleavon Little) is saved from the gallows and is made sheriff of Rock Ridge, he visits his friends on rail laying crew where this exchange between Bart and Charlie (Charles McGregor) occurs: |Charlie: They said you was hung. |Bart: And they was right.
